Nicholson played 21 minutes Friday night against the Pelicans after missing the previous 16 games.Coach James Borrego sent a wave of players at Anthony Davis in order to slow him down. Nicholson has been on and off the inactive roster the past two months, playing 43 total minutes in three January games. He primarily benefitted from Tobias Harris (knee) resting. Minutes will be hard to come by once Harris returns.
